Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Intermittent reinforcement occurs when a behavior is sometimes rewarded and sometimes not rewarded. This creates a stronger attachment to the behavior or object because the uncertain reward reinforces the behavior. In the case of lucky hats, charms, and rituals, people may feel that these objects or behaviors bring them good luck because they have experienced a desired outcome at some point after using them. However, the reward is not consistent or guaranteed, which strengthens their attachment to the object or behavior.
